Application filedOctober 26, 1925. Serial No. 64,900.

This invention" relates to a tooth brush holder and has fo-r'its primary object to pro-' vide a structure which is thoroughly sanitary, capable of being easily cleaned, having prove strong a simple structure which will and durable in use.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a tooth brush holder having a nickel plated aluminum frame structure covered by galvanized wire mesh panels .al-

lowing the holder with brushes therein to be clipped into-hot water for sterilization and preventing insects and dust from getting into the holder. q

Another very important object of the invention is to provide a holder of this nature having a supporting bar disposed transversely across the top thereof on which the brushes may be hung to prevent themfrom coming into engagement with the sides of the holder so that air may circulate freely above the brushes and the bristles thereof. V v a With the above and numerous other obv jects'in view as will appear as the'descrip- 'tion proceeds, the inventionresides in cerparticularly through tain novel features of construction, and in V the combination and arrangement of parts as 1 will be hereinafter-more fully described and claimed. Y In the drawing Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section through the holder, and p L I Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section .thei'ethrough. I

Referring to the drawing in detail, it'will be seen that 1 designates a base having a bottom 2 formed thereon and a skeleton frame 3 formed thereon andrising therei from. The rectangular flange 4 is formed on the top of the skeleton frame and is 03-.

set inwardly therefrom so as to provide the shoulder 5. Across bar 6 extends longitudinally of the flange 4 and is provided with a plurality of hooks 7 for supporting tooth brushes8. The base, 1, bottom 2, skeleton frame 3, and flange 4 are preferably con-:- structed of nickel plated aluminumfso as to" be light in construction and rust proof. {A

-plurality ofigalvanized mesh 'wire panels 9 are solderedor otherwise securely fastened to the skeleton frame 3 to complete the easing.' A cover 10 is provided'with a depend 'ing flange 11 adapted to fit over the. flange 4: and rest on the shoulder 5. The flange ll ishinged as at12-to'thetopof the skeleton 3 frame adjacent tlieshoulder 5 on one side f of the casing, A bolt-13] extends through thecover idvertically; andf is rotatably mounted thereinhaving an operating rod 15 on its outerend and anangiilar extension 16- on its inner end for engaging under the offset connecting the flange 4 to the skeleton frame 3 and forming theshoulder 5.

Vith this improved holder, the tooth brushes may be hung onthe hooks 7am the entire holder may be thoroughly sterilized in hot water and then set in a convenient place so that the sun light andair may permeate through the wire mesh panels 9 to .inaintain the tooth brushes in a dried sterilized condition.

. n is thought that theconstruction, utility,

and advantages'o'f the invention will now be clearly understood, without a more detailed description thereof. The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed merelyby way ofexample since in actual practice it attains the-features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention. andin the abovedescription. It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combinak tion and-arrangementofparts ma be resorted to without departingfromt e spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having described my invention what I claim asnew isr v I 1. A sanitary tooth brush holder of the class described including a skeleton frame,

wire mesh panels onsaid skeleton frame, a

flange formed'on thejtop of said skeleton frame andoffset inwardly to form a shoulder, a cover having a dependingfiange for being received over the first mentioned flange, means for hinging the flanges together, a bolt extending, through the foover and rotatably inounted'thereinand' having 7 i its innerend provided with an angular eX- cover closed.
